Transformers 2 reviewed

I may be admitting to either being a 12 year-old, or having some kind of mental handicap, but I liked Transformers 2. I realize there's a bunch of stupid shit that gets in the way of giant robots beating each other, but it was still entertaining.

It's a SUMMER MOVIE. Michael Bay isn't looking to win Oscar's here, he's just looking to whip up something a bunch of people will pay money for and be entertained with. Sure it had some racist Autobots perpetuating black stereotypes along the way, but the idiot next to me found them hilarious, and they didn't really ruin anything for me. Megan Fox isn't Meryl Streep, but in the same respect Meryl Streep isn't Megan Fox. I really didn't realize much else besides staring at the embodiment of female beauty running around. Say what you will, but if you don't like Megan Fox in slow motion, there's something wrong with you. She will be the Venus de Milo of our generation where in 2,000 years they will look back and say that was what beauty was.

The movie didn't feel like 2.5 hours and had some crazy shit that was worth seeing it in the theatres. It was a big downfall to try to have some crazy story rather than Megatron having some plot to destroy earth and Optimus Prime stopping him in epic battles. Why do they make random characters rather than rolling out the old classics from the cartoon? Not rocket science on this one. I did have to ask who wrote this thing because it is BADLY written, but it is salvaged by CGI and Megan Fox. It is WAY overdramatic, pretty corny at times, and not too intelligent, but I certainly wasn't pissed about spending $6.50 at it, and I usually am.

Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10- Go see it in theatres because you won't get awed watching this thing on a TV back home.

Random tangents: Why in the fuck are there button fly jeans for men in this world? I just bought a pair and never even thought of checking, then brought them home and may have to return them for that sole purpose. I felt like I should have to amputate my penis just for putting the things on. It takes 30 times as long as a zipper, is way more uncomfortable, and LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME. Fuck whoever made that fashionable again.

I can't listen to Kanye's music anymore because he's such an epic fuck of a human being I hate the thought of someohow validating him through his music.

I'm a fan of True Blood somehow even though I utterly dispise vampire culture and fans of it. I want to punch that Patterson dude from Twilight in the face despite not having a clue about anything in terms of him as a person. True Blood is ridiculous, but the characters are crazy and there's a bunch of sex and violence, which makes up for the stupid vampire shit.

When is the new season of South Park starting?
I just watched Frank Catalanotto get a clutch hit with 0 outs and bases juiced to pull the Brewers to 4-5, my only question is why not run on Manny Ramirez even though it was a line drive? He cares less about defense than he does his ex-teammates in Boston. He'd biff the cutoff man like he was completely wasted at a beer league all-day drinking tournament. The guy should have been a DH the last 5 years at least, like Prince Fielder's future.

  2. Looks like after all these years Megan Fox has come between us.
